French Trip, Day 2 - Part 2
Despite our worries, we actually managed to see Fribourg. We've seen the St Nicholas cathedral, which was absolutely beautiful, the Notre Dame basilica, which was not remarkable at all, and walked a bit along the river, which was a great sight. We bought a few postcards, some of which Mum promptly forgot in the basilica, and rushed off to leave for Lyon.

Some beautiful pics of the cathedral.
The tower:
The portal:
In the inside:
Just a street:
Pretty landscapes:
Although I must admit in all honesty that I wasn't particularly impressed by the Swiss landscpe. The mountains didn't even come close to the impressive, mythical wildness of those of Austria, and we only got small glimplses from Lac Léman.
On the other hand, part of the route to Lyon was breath-taking. Enormous cliffs desceded in terraces to deep seas, huge viaducts arched over abysses, on several levels, and all the tunnels were doubled there: you could only go in one direction, and you could not change the route you started on. I guess it lessens the chance of car accidents, which is a reasonble thing.
And finally - because I forgot to insert the picture - the not-so-remarkable Notre Dame basilica:
Next time: Lyon. Yeah, we're actually going to France! Stay tuned!

Yep, Lyon was pretty, but, well, it's a big city. It can't even get close in things beauty to the small towns like La Roque Gagéac, Domme, Carcassonne, Rocamadour or Aigues-Mortes, to name just a few. You'll see. I've made an awful lot of pics.
